Shooting at Dallas Police Station

[Typical Knicks Fan]

(Reuters) - Shots were fired from an armored van near Dallas Police headquarters early on Saturday before it drove away and was pursued by police, the Dallas Morning News reported.

The newspaper said an anonymous source within the police department confirmed the shooting, which was first reported around 12:30 a.m. local time. It was not clear if anyone had been injured.

The Dallas Morning News said dozens of police cars and SWAT personnel pursued the van, which the newspaper said was believed to be carrying explosives. The police cars and the van then stopped on a nearby interstate highway, where officers were apparently negotiating with the driver, the paper said

Reuters could not independently verify the report. A person with the Dallas police department said she was not able to release information to the media.

In a video on social media and also published online by the newspaper, a black van could be seen ramming a police cruiser before a barrage of gunfire rang out and the van sped off.

Shots fired at Dallas police headquarters, explosive device found

1 hour ago

• (Reuters) - Shots were fired from an armored van in an attack on Dallas Police headquarters early on Saturday, police said, and an explosive device was later found outside the building.
  
  
  Dallas Police Chief David Brown told reporters that witnesses said as many as four suspects were involved in the incident, which began around 12:30 a.m. He said that a motive was not yet known.
  
  Brown said when police responded to reports of automatic gunfire, the van rammed a squad car and at least one person opened fire. The van drove off when the police returned fire and the police gave chase, Brown said.
  
  The van stopped in a fast food restaurant parking lot in the city of Hutchins, some 10 miles (16 km) south of Dallas, where there was another exchange of gunfire.
  
  Brown said police negotiators had since been in contact with one of the suspects inside the van, who identified himself as James Boulware.
  
  Brown said that the suspect had said that police had taken his son and had accused him of being a terrorist. Brown said that the man then threatened to "blow us up."
  
  Four bags were found scattered around police headquarters, one of which had explosives inside, Brown said. Nearby residents were being evacuated from the area, he said.
  
  No officers have been injured, but the suspect speaking with police said he had been hurt, Brown said.
  
  A video of the incident on social media showed a police officer approaching a black van with a flashlight as two other police cruisers pulled up behind the vehicle. The officer then abruptly turned and ran away and then a volley of gunshots could be heard.
  
  In another video, the van could be seen ramming a police cruiser before gunfire rang out and the vehicle drove off.
